How to Measure Head:

Measure around the largest part of your head, above the eyebrows, with a tape measure. Take that number of inches and divide it by 3.14 (pi) and that number is your size. If you are between sizes, always round up to the nearest eighth. See the chart above for size conversions.

Description

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

For 100 years, the Stormy Kromer Original Cap has kept its perfectly flawless design to warm heads in chilly weather with its wool and cotton flannel construction. Stormy Kromer also added a bit of nylon for long-lasting comfort; features like the pre-curved brim and pulldown earband are what kept this six-panel cap alive for a century.

Original Cap

Kromer customers are genuine. Salt-of-the earth. True. Which also describes the premium wool cap that started it all. This six-panel, hand-stitched beauty is built for long-lasting comfort, and for more than 100 years, it's been an icon of the great American outdoors. If that's something you identify with - or at least enjoy pictures of - this cap is gonna look great on you.

I live in San Diego, it can be brisk in...

I wear mine all the time, if it's real cold pull down the earband but if it warms up put it back up. I don't think I've ever been too hot wearing it. That being said I usually don't wear it if it's above 75 degrees out mid day, hope this helps!

Hat with a belt

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

Fit:
Runs small

I grew up with these hats on my grandfathers head and always thought they were classic and useful when you are out in the elements. I now own a few of these. The original I use year round, the rancher when its -10 and the gore-tex hunter orange during harvest. Once you get one you won't wear anything else. I just started using it while I skin and the wool is great because it doesnt soak up your sweat when climbing so you can actually use it all day. The Rancher and the Goretex run a one size smaller than your head so upsize a 1/4. Ride ON!

Best looking cap on this site!

I use this hat when I am skinning. Fits well, looks awesome, keeps my ears warm, and gets allot of comments! The quality is great on these and they still look brand new after 30-40 days in the backcountry.

Winter Favorite!

Got tired of wearing knit hats last winter and sported this hat from Stormy! It is great, super comfortable, not itchy and I was psyched it is made in the US. The ear flaps work really well also-they pull down not fold down to cover up the top half of your ear, but only if you need/want that protection.
